“Well if so many disabled people are being killed then why am i not seeing it on the news?”

I give you one good reason brenda

Disabled folks often die “of illnesses” and people just sort of take that as a natural course of being disabled, rather than a violent and preventable death.

Even when the cause of death is reported on, such as the man who died while rationing his insulin because he couldn’t afford it, it is a flash in the pan and few people will acknowledge that sort of death is violent at all.

People have been taught that violence is mostly punching and shooting people, but withholding abundant resources while people around you die is a violent act. Price gouging essential medicine so people pay up or die is a violent act, just as much as a mugger who tells you they will shoot you if you don’t give them your wallet.

A large amount if people who “die of illness” are actually dying because they have been refused treatment and care, and those effects are cumulative over a lifetime.

People have been tricked into believing that disabled people die of their disabilities, that our lot in life is suffering and little else and that our deaths are a mercy. So they don’t see our deaths as violent, they don’t see the cruelty of the system, they don’t understand the prolonged horror and pain that are caused.

And then there are those who simply don’t care, who don’t see us as worthy of life, as worthy of being human. As we’ve seen first hand in the comments on some of your posts, some people want to get theirs and fuck everyone else. Which isn’t how a society is supposed to function but what the fuck ever right?

In the UK we’ve seen disabled people dying of starvation, of neglect and huge spikes in disabled deaths as a direct result of government cut, and it’s still barely making the news.
